A Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence requires words that create a contrast: writing that is normally 'uncomplicated' (easy to understand) but sometimes becomes 'pedestrian' (dull, lacking imagination). 'Amorous/prodigal' relates to love/extravagance, 'chimerical/putative' means imaginary/supposed, and 'pensive/obsolescent' means thoughtful/outdated - none fit the contrast structure.
